There is a girder hanging from a crane by two cables. The girder is 2.6m long and hanging at an angle. The weight of the girder is 0.50 kN. Calculate the tensions of each cable.
Homework Equations
The Attempt at a Solution
I would divide the two cables into their x and y components and use trigonometry to find the resultant vector for each...but how does the length of the girder affect this?
